2016 OA PRISM
(June, 2016)
|
 During
the summer of 2016, the national Order for the Arrow committee
held a special event at the Summit Bechtel Reserve called PRISM.
PRISM was for individual Arrowmen and ran for seven, 4-day
sessions. Participants had access to all of the adventures
the Scott Summit Center provides including rock climbing,
zip-lining, boating, biking, etc. Many Arrowmen also gave
back to the SBR through a service project along with fellow
Arrowmen from around the country. The defining experience
of Prism was the inaugural rededication ceremony at the newly
constructed Summit Circle. The ceremony provided Arrowmen with a
glimpse of what the future holds for the OA while surrounded by
remnants of Treasure Island Scout Reservation’s original
ceremony circle where Dr. Goodman once stood. PRISM
participants were among the first Arrowmen to experience the new
national ceremonial grounds and served as a guide into a new
century of brotherhood, cheerfulness and service. Five
Withlacoochee Lodge Arrowmen attended PRISM during the second
session 22-25 June 2016: Mr. Rick Green, Mr. Drew
Sterling, Mr. Merrill Dickinson, Mr. Andrew Smith, and Matthew
Collins.
